Walter, Kenneth & Families. With sadness we read of the passing of your Father. Walter was a good person and a Gentleman. He served in USArmy combat zones during WWII, returned to marry your Mother, raise two fine sons and always provided a good home for your family. We only heard good and positive things said about him. May your present sorrow be somehow eased by happy memories you must have of your Father, your Mother and your family.

I had a standing "date" with Walt every Tuesday morning at Price Chopper. He and the "guys" would sit for hours. I was lucky enough to join them, listen to stories and share some laughs with Walt. He will be missed, my thoughts and prayers are with his family.
